towels waiting to be carried up

everything is
as it was, when you return.
which is good.
the sofa,
there, the phone, the books,
all exactly how
you left them.
no one slept in your bed
while you were gone.
no one ate
your food,
or took a bath.
clothes are hung
in the closet,
towels folded
waiting to be carried up.
everything is as it was
before you left
and locked the door
behind you.
